Abstract
The present study re-assesses the characters of the Oriental genus Lobogonodes Bastelberger, 1909 based on all 8 species, including the newly described L. shiushioui sp. nov. a nd the distinct species L. dactylotypa Prout, 1940 stat. rev. . Three synapomorphic characters based on the male genitalia are proposed: the presence of a sclerotized subscaphium, the Ushaped connection between the juxta and anellus lobe and the saccus process pointed anteriorly. A new key to the species in this genus is provided.
